As measures were taken to restore power, other areas were also
affected. The Logan County Safety Complex on Pekin Street was put on
backup generator power for 30 minutes. Outage site counts varied
over time between 2,682 and 3,300 out of 8,454 Ameren customers.
The cause of the primary outage was not identified, though an outage
last year was attributed to aging equipment at a nearby substation.
Reportedly that station and others have been getting newer
equipment.
